A special day with @ChelseaFC skipper @ReeceJames today

He was a real gentleman and really keen to hear about the 50 hours of work @Chabz_Art put into this incredible charcoal drawing (which he autographed) and our International Women's Day schools initiative - the winner of ...

RIP Bobby Tambling - Chelsea Legend ⚽💙

@SonOfChelsea @LondonBluePod @nickverlaney @OllieGlanvill I thought you both made great additions, to what's already my favourite podcast. Measured, composed, and insightful.

[Raphael Frascogna @raph_delaghetto]

@cfcpep I'm with you

[Jonny Cooper @JRCooper26]

James Milner retiring means 2026-27 will be the first English top-flight season since 1956-57 that will not feature a single player who played under Sir Bobby Robson.

Not sure what’s happening with regard to season ticket renewals or indeed any associated ticket price rises for next season but if anyone out there is considering not renewing their own season ticket, please could you contact me as I’m desperate to get one
Thank you 💙

⚽ Lineup news — and what a replacement.
Paul Merson is injured, but John Hartson is stepping in tomorrow at Football vs Cancer; a stage-four brain cancer survivor, now one of football's greatest advocates for the cause we're fighting for.

Never give up ✊🏼

[Luke O'Nien @LukeONien]

EUROPA LEAGUE was never the dream.

Not because I didn’t want it.

Because if I’m being honest, I never thought it was possible.

What kid would?

Especially when 12 years ago I was playing non league football in the Ryman Premier and Conference South, just trying to stay alive in the game.

What kid dreams about Europe when, two weeks into the off season, his dad has to tell him he’s been released by Watford F.C. over the phone?

I was heartbroken.

My dad looked at me and said:

“What are we doing tomorrow?”

To which I replied with the words he’d drilled into me my whole life:

“We’re training, Dad.”

So we trained.

Every single day.

My dad emailed every EFL club asking for an opportunity.

One club replied.

One.

That was all I needed.

An opportunity.

@WealdstoneFC and @wwfcofficial , I’ll always be indebted to you.

Then came the move to @SunderlandAFC .

A massive club.

A massive opportunity.

And I couldn’t wait to prove myself.

But 45 minutes into my debut… hooked.

“Rabbit caught in headlights. Waste of money. Get rid.”

Then came the Championship.

“He’s not good enough for this level.”

Then the Premier League.

“Let’s give him a debut and then get rid of him.”

I understood the doubt.

I’ve faced it my whole career.

And truthfully, you doubt yourself too at times.

But I’ve always tried to live by one mindset:

Outwork your doubt.

You don’t always need to see the full journey.

You just need to take the next step.

Then the next one.

And then another.

Even when social media tells you you’re not good enough.

Even when the voice inside your own head whispers the same thing.

Keep working.

Keep learning.

Keep showing up.

Because sometimes the places you end up are bigger than anything your younger self could’ve ever imagined.

To any young player reading this, don’t put a ceiling on yourself too early.

You genuinely have no idea where this game and life can take you.

And to the boys… thank you.

You removed the glass ceiling I’d placed on myself.

What a team.

What a club.

What a fanbase.

Sunderland… rocking all over Europe ❤️🤍

And in the words of Granit Xhaka:

“This is just the beginning.”

[Raphael Frascogna @raph_delaghetto]

This is now sorted, thank you 🙏🏼
